is your tc your regular driver or your toy or show car - just curious on the mix out here.

For me - I have several birds (it is a sickness) the tc is just a toy....

It's the daily driver - it's body is too rough for it to be a show car.

One is a project car, the other is a daily driver. The SVO is a future project.

My first 88 is a daily ride except winters.

An 86 was bought for parts(new engine 70k,new T3,etc)but might make it a RatRacer till a4ld goes.

Another 88, rust free but abused by juvenile delinquent needs turbo, clutch, tranny, we'll see what else, deserves full preservation. [Image: smile.gif]

Toy - too ugly to show - hopefully I will be able to steal Dan E's "detailing mojo" long enough to make it show. [Image: biggrin.gif]

My 88 is my only car, and I drive about 1500 miles/month. With all its typical random TC gremlins, that can be interesting at times. It's been behaving very well lately, though!
